MEMORIES IN CONFLICT // 62′ // (curator: Celia Turley) + NETWORKING

Beneath the pomp and platitudes of commemoration, forgotten foot soldiers and inconsequential victims lie hidden, unacknowledged amongst the grand narratives of war. Spanning heady hallucinatory recollections, intimate eulogy and playful homage to a local hero, these 5 films redress the balance. From both celebrated artists and emerging new talent, we showcase stories which shine a light on the personal memories within the political drama of war.

Evil, ominous and ultimately unlucky. When you find yourself in a wrong and terrifying situation.
